Sean Conway – Iron 105

Our December 2024 speaker book of the month is “Iron 105: 105 Full Iron Distance Triathlons in a Row” by endurance athlete and speaker Sean Conway.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In the winter of 2021 Sean decided on attempting the impossible – to complete one of the most gruelling endurance challenges the world has ever seen. Could he swim 2.4 miles, then cycle 112 miles and then run a marathon, every single day, for 105 days.

This book covers his story, the challenges he faced and what drives him to take on these huge endurance challenges.

ABOUT SEAN

Sean Conway is an extreme endurance adventurer and the first and only man in history to complete the Ultimate British Triathlon.  After embarking on a 1300 mile bike ride, Sean set a world-first by completing a 900 mile swim from Land’s End to John O’Groats.  In May 2015, Sean completed the final leg, running 1,014 miles in six weeks, officially achieving what had never been done before.

Sean has completed the world’s longest Ultra Triathlon and he holds the world record for the fastest crossing of Europe by bicycle.

Other Achievements include –

In 2013 he became the first person in history to swim the length of Great Britain, having previously cycled it in 2008. After battling the weather, currents and seemingly endless swarms of jellyfish, Sean and his legendary beard wrote history on November 11 2013, after 135 days at sea.

in 2015, after a failed first attempt at running Britain, he completed the Ultimate British Triathlon when he finished his run from John O’Groats to Land’s End, without undergoing any kind of training in advance.

In 2016 Sean raised the bar once more when he took on the greatest challenge of his life. Starting in April 2016, he completed a self-supported 4000+ mile, continuous Ultra Triathlon that circumnavigates the entire coast of mainland Britain and Discovery Channel followed Sean’s incredible and dangerous journey.
